Booking U: How to book paid, college and in-store sex ed teaching gigs like Reid Mihalko and Megan Andeloux

Get schooled in how to get schools with two of the busiest sexperts in the biz’ness!

  • Are you a sex educator who’s interested in bringing your offerings to colleges and universities?
  • Feeling the recession crunch in your self-promoted workshops and events and wishing someone would pay you to just show up and teach?
  • Passionate about reaching college-aged adults but don’t know how?
  • Dreaming of traveling around the country getting paid to do what you do best?
  • Wish you could book paid speaking gigs in your area of expertise but not sure who to contact or where to start?
  • Feeling envious of all the other workshop leaders and authors who’re traveling around the country getting paid to teach?

If you’re a yes to any of the above questions, this one day workshop is for you! Part brain-dump, part brainstorming session, all fun and information: Reid and Megan are going to download and share everything they know about booking paying gigs at colleges, organizations and stores!

Join sex and relationship educators (and gig booking experts) Reid Mihalko and Megan Andeloux (who’ve booked hundreds of paid gigs combined) for 3-hours focusing on how you can take your workshops, teaching and public speaking to the next level: Getting schools and organizations to pay you to show up and speak to rooms they fill for you!

Face it, it’s hard organizing, promoting, hosting and running your own events. Why not get organizations to pay you to show up and share what you’re passionate about!

In this 3-hour, evening workshop (with after-party), Reid and Megan will cover:

  • How teaching and speaking at schools, organizations and stores works and why you should be considering doing it.
  • What to expect, what to charge, and what not to do.
  • Who to speak to, how to find them, and what to say to book a paid gig.
  • What you should have on your website to book a gig and why.
  • Things you can do to figure out if you’re ready to bring your work to colleges and universities.
  • Some of Reid and Megan’s “Best of” and “Worst of” stories from teaching gigs, so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel!

During this workshop Reid and Megan will also mentor and lead you through brainstorming what you can do next to begin or upgrade the paid teaching gig part of your business!
